Hello,
I am Christine Calder Smith, niece of James Calder. He also painted the murals in St. Clair Post Office and Grand ledge, Michigan. I have photographed the Grand Ledge, Michigan and St. Clair Michigan. I would be glad to share the pictures with New Deal project site.

Hello Christine
I love the Grand Ledge mural and just learned about the others. I’m on my way to St. Clair to see that one next week, and I hope to go to Rogers City in the spring.
I would love to know more about your uncle, if you care to share with me.
Thanks
Bill
